My Riffs

Rest is a necessary part of life. You either make space for rest or it will make room for itself.  Rest feels better when you’ve put in purposeful work first.  Resting too long turns into lethargy though.  So rest, recover and get back at it!

Your best varies from day to day. It even varies season to season. But what matters is that you always give your best. And when you don’t, you get back to giving your best right away. 

Strength comes from doing hard things.  Easy paths don’t make us stronger.  Strength requires getting uncomfortable. It may even r difficult. But you know the end result is much better. 

If you don’t repair, things will break down beyond repair.  Don’t let things get so damaged you can’t repair them. 

Don't quit. Readjust? Yes. Pause? Yes. But don't plain quit. Quitting means stopping with no plan, no goal, no strategy. Making a mistake isn't a failure. Quitting is.

Getting overwhelmed is increasing easy in the modern world. Digital everything has made things faster and more accessible, but also louder. It’s hard to sift through all the noise. We can easily get overloaded and overwhelmed.  Slow down. Prioritize.  Silence the noise. Use silencing and do not disturb features. Uninstall apps. Unfollow. Turn off notifications.  Prioritize once you’ve slowed down.
